Abstract:
Chronic cough is a common complaint in respiratory specialist outpatient clinics and primary care, having a significant impact on patients' lives, work and studies. In recent years, the treatment, and pathogenesis of chronic cough has become a research hotspot. This article reviews the epidemiology, pathogenesis, assessment, and treatment of chronic cough from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024.Fund program: National Natural Science Foundation of China (82370036, 82170034); The Major Project of Guangzhou National Laboratory (GZNL2024A02001).

COPD: Pathogenesis and Clinical Features
The primary cause for the onset of COPD is cigarette smoking and exposure to air pollution. These hazardous factors initiate a chain reaction within the lungs, resulting in chronic inflammation, damage to the airways, and a...
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Smoking is a primary risk factor for COPD, with over 80% of patients having a history of it. Patients typically experience progressive dyspnea or labored breathing, frequent coughing, and recurrent pulmonary infections. Many eventually succumb to respiratory failure, characterized by...

Chronic Inflammation
Upper Respiratory Drugs: Antitussives, Expectorants, and Mucolytics
Antitussives include codeine, dextromethorphan (Robitussin), and benzonatate (Tessalon). Codeine and dextromethorphan exert their effects centrally by suppressing the cough reflex center in the medulla. Benzonatate operates peripherally within the respiratory tract by...
